Checkpoints Harrass? Not Really

Reported:

Israel Border Police uncover explosives ready to be used in a Palestinian terrorist's bag. Other weaponry was recently found at the same checkpoint

Israel Border Police forces discovered five pipe bombs and three Molotov cocktails ready to be thrown in a Palestinian terrorist's bag at the Tapuach checkpoint, south of Nablus on Tuesday (Mar. 8).


Now recall the whining about those interfering checkpoints as well as this UN claim - "The absence of a satisfactory security explanation for these checkpoints leads to the inevitable conclusion that they are principally designed to humiliate and harass the Palestinian people": 2006:

Israeli checkpoints in West Bank frustrate Palestinians


2007:

In West Bank, Checkpoints Splinter Palestinian Economy


2008:

Israelis Agree to Reduce West Bank Roadblocks


2009:

Israel's military has eased some of its checkpoints in the occupied West Bank in recent weeks and agreed to allow Palestinian security forces more room to operate. The moves reflect a growing Israeli confidence in the actions of the Palestinian forces...


And contemplate these security 'experts':

Israeli generals oppose checkpoints

Former Israeli generals say roadblocks in the occupied West Bank feed "terrorism".


So, are you for or against checkpoints?
